Oil on canvas • 36" x 36"
Professionally finished in a gallery-quality floating frame by Ted at Plaza Art Gallery
This haunting, surreal oil painting on canvas (36x36), titled 'et in arcadia ego...' depicts a mystical landscape. Three rolling hills dominate the scene, the most prominent crowned by the Tour de Magdala of Rennes-le-Château. A serene statue of Mary Magdalene stands tall, her finger pointing skyward, drawing the eye to a deeper meaning. In the foreground, an homage to Poussin's 'Shepherds of Arcadia' shows figures contemplating Mary Magdalene's womb, hinting at hidden lineages. A striking red snake, ouroboros-like, devours its own tail, winding down a path, symbolizing cyclical time and hidden knowledge. The overall atmosphere is one of ancient secrets, spiritual revelation, and enigmatic symbolism, rendered in rich, textured brushstrokes.
